In the line of work I do, collaboration is important and networking is a must. I typically go to monthly meetings for networking, such as the Rising Tide Society meetings. It was there that I met Kelle. She opened up her studio, Flower Smith Studio, for the Livingston County group meeting. And guess what? She is a floral designer and does eco-friendly flower arrangements and large installations! Friends to Styled Shoot Partner I met Kelle in late 2018 and our friendship has blossomed since then. I sometimes wonder if it’s because she’s a Capricorn like me (lol). We’re both pretty conservative people and we think alike.

Metro Detroit Area Florist: Why We Charge What We Do

Styled Collaboration – Packard Proving Grounds
Recently, I had the pleasure of being a part of a styled collaboration and it was absolutely phenomenal! For those that don't know, styled collaborations are a group of vendors that come together to produce a unique mock wedding. You may also see styled collaborations for other events, such as bridal showers, baby showers, birthday parties and more. It gives us vendors the opportunity to showcase our talents and express our creativity in a new way. They're pretty labor intensive, but absolutely worth it! Styled Collaboration With Your Metro Detroit Florist I was beyond thrilled when Mark Kelly from Mark Kelly Photography reached out to me about participating in a styled collaboration.
